Seek insight

Hua Hu Ching
化胡經
35

Intellectual knowledge

exists in and of the brain.

Because the brain is part of the body,

which must one day expire,

this collection of facts,

however large and

impressive, will

expire as well.


Insight, however,

is a function of the spirit.

Because your spirit follows you

through cycle after cycle of

life, death, and rebirth, you

have the opportunity

of cultivating insight

in an ongoing

fashion.


Refined over time,

insight becomes pure,

constant, and unwavering.

This is the beginning

of immortality.



from the Hua Hu Ching, by Brian Browne Walker

May all know inner peace 🙏
